C# Enum Values as Json ASP.NET Web API Response

I did not have the easiest time Googling around for this so I thought I would post it. As simple as it may be may be it might help someone solve there issue more quickly.

I am working on a web app that is using AngularJS on the client side and in one of the forms I needed the user to be able to select time zones but I didn’t want to hard code it into the javascript, as well as it is getting stored on the back-end as my C# enum type USTimeZones:

So I created this api method to return me the values in an array of objects with and id (which is the value of the item in the enum) and a name (which is the display name of the item in the enum). Here is my method from a Web API controller:

I use Enum.GetValues(typeof(USTimeZones)) to get an array of the values in the enum and then I add an object to my array that is the item from the array casted into an int and then the item casted into a string to get the name.

The returning values look like this, and I am able to just call from javascript via ajax to the values:
